Seller's Description
Javelin is turn-key and race ready. I was taking her to the marina to be launched when our Wednesday series was cancelled. I was planning to sell at the end of the season, but decided not launch and accelerate the sale.
The bottom is freshly painted, mast taped, and the boat is literally ready to go into the water today and be raced. She has a professionally faired keel, carbon fiber rebuild of keel sump, keel and hull maintained in excellent condition. She is one of the early hand laid boats (not scrimp) and is one of the lightest J80s know. She requires more than 80 kg corrector weights (currently removed) to race one design but has not been weighed since I have owned her.
Included in the sale:
- 2019 PHRF Spinnaker and Main
- 2020 PHRF (still in bag) 155 Genoa
- Older but good Class Spinnaker, Dacron heavy air main, heavy air jib
- Lots of older sails for practice and delivery
- 2019 new traveler car, spin turning blocks, spin halyard
- Genoa tracks
- New intermediates 2018
- Hall spars
- 3 year old Tohatsu 3.5 4 cycle out board
- All safety equipment, anchors, flares, extinguishers, life jackets
- On road worthy trailer
- All tarps and set up for overwintering on trailer
- Original paperwork and lots of extras
Javelin is one of the fastest and highest pointing J80s. I have raced her extensively in PHRF fleet in St Michael’s, MD and consistently beat many of the boats in our fleet that rate far less.
Boat is located and available for viewing on trailer in St Michael’s, Maryland. All you need is a slip to put her in to start racing. More pictures available upon request.

Calculations

7.3 kn
Classic: 4.86 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
32.9
>20: high performance
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
- ?
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
92.9
<100: Ultralight
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
4.3
<20: lightweight racing boat
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
3.4
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
Spinnaker: 90 sq. ft.
Also available with a fixed keel. (rare)
